Jenna Logan Poet Limerick

Jolly Holly, the Fisher Lady

* * * NOT HEADED FOR A CONTEST * * *


Jolly Holly wanted nothing more than to fish
In her entire life, she had made only one wish
All I need is a boat
One that will stay afloat
She had never been described as a sexy dish

Holly had other attributes. She sure could cook
And no one else was better at baiting a hook
With minnows and grubs
She stayed out of pubs
Because most men never gave her a second look

There was an air about her... not a pleasant one
It was a fishy smell that fellers liked to shun
Then one day she met Gus
A man, big as a bus!
He looked at Holly and said, "Take me fishin, hon."

Wasn't long, 'fore Gus moved in with Jolly Holly
The fished all day and made love each night, by golly
He married that lil lass
On a boat, catchin' bass
Got a collie and twin girls, Molly and Polly

Terry Flood August 18, 2022 at 3:55 PM A fisherman and a fisher girl… a match made in heaven. A great fun write, Jenna. I would ask why you’re not entering the contest but then I’d have to turn off commenting. Ha ha! Terry Jenna Logan August 18, 2022 at 4:06 PM Thank you very much for liking these limericks, Terry. I have no problem telling you why I've not entered the contest...the sponsor, but then I don't think that would surprise anyone. lol I appreciate your visit and comments.

Michael Tor August 17, 2022 at 2:49 PM Wow you give Jack and Tom a run for their money on these delightful limericks Jenna. Loved them... Jenna Logan August 17, 2022 at 3:46 PM Ha ha. Limericks are so addicting. Thanks for the encouragement, Michael.

Mark Koplin August 16, 2022 at 1:08 PM Excellent limericks! My favorite thing to do !! Tom Cunningham August 16, 2022 at 1:13 PM Mark, you're famous again Jenna Logan August 16, 2022 at 1:11 PM I am well aware of your fishing adventures, Mark. Thanks for liking these.

Tom Cunningham August 16, 2022 at 1:04 PM Lol, enjoyed your fishy tale Jenna. If you get a minute check out my latest, your comment on Miltons blog fired up my muse. Tom Jenna Logan August 16, 2022 at 1:10 PM Oh that's so good to know, Tom. Thanks, and I will always make time to read you.

David Kavanagh August 16, 2022 at 12:41 PM Excellent string of fun Limericks Jenna, I see where you got the idea from, yeah it’s probably not a good idea to enter the contest, they all seem to be self imploding for this particular sponsor, much too difficult for us mere mortals, I’m impressed with your fishing knowledge, cheers David, hey captcha MBY Terry Flood August 18, 2022 at 3:51 PM I thought I was being over touchy re ‘that woman’. As a fisherman who loves humour and rhyme, that latest contest was right up my street, but, out of sheer principle, I decided not to enter. I mean, what’s with the ‘Ill say what I like but you won’t reply’ thing? Jenna Logan August 16, 2022 at 3:02 PM ;) David Kavanagh August 16, 2022 at 2:15 PM Moby indeed your on the money as usual! Jenna Logan August 16, 2022 at 1:09 PM haha. Yes, there's no way I'd ever enter one of her contests with the way she insults poets by saying most entries were not good enough. I love fishing, always have. MBY for Moby. ;) Thanks, David.
